2016 Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas: 50 Years of Star Trek!

... You are without honor and we therefore sentence you to a lifelong imprisonment with forced labor in the dilithium mines of Rura Penthe. Qapla!

This year — 2016 as I'm writing this — marks the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise created by the late Gene Roddenberry, which apart from the original series also spawned several theatrical motion pictures, three sequel series set roughly 100 years into the future from the events of the original series, two prequel series — one of which is set to air in 2017 — as well as an animated series and several novels.

The franchise was rebooted in 2009 by J.J. Abrams by way of a theatrical motion picture, simply named "Star Trek". This reboot has in itself also already spawned two sequel movies — "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Star Trek Beyond", both also produced by J.J. Abrams. However, the rebooted franchise takes place on another time line — called "the Kelvin time line" by its producers — and is therefore not consistent with the characterizations and canon from the original franchise. The only original cast member who appeared in (the first two movies of) the rebooted franchise was the recently deceased Leonard Nimoy, portraying the elder version of Spock, who had been thrown back in time from the future and onto the Kelvin time line of the rebooted franchise, where he would then also come to meet the alternate time line version of his younger self, played by Zachary Quinto.

Several actors from the original franchise have in the meantime also created an independent and crowd-funded new (mini-)series, called Renegades — originally called "Star Trek: Renegades" — of which the full-length pilot episode can be watched here at The One Truth. This series takes place in the 24th century, 10 years after the return of the starship USS Voyager from the Delta Quadrant.

THE 2016 LAS VEGAS 50th ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION

Given that the Star Trek franchise is now 50 years old, several of the actors from the cast of the original franchise have in the meantime already passed away, as well as that not every surviving cast member from the original franchise was available for the celebratory convention due to other commitments. Also, because of non-disclosure agreements, most of the cast members present at the reunion were not at liberty to speak about the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery series. Lastly, given that the reboot by J.J. Abrams takes place on another time line, none of the cast of those movies were present at this convention.

Because of the limitations regarding the embedding of videos into a single post, I am going to break up the different sessions of the convention across multiple posts, grouped together per series and consistent with the chronology of their production. The items in the list here-below are clickable links that will take you straight to the pertinent sections of this thread.
